If you’ve looked for recipes or ideas for your kitchen online at any time since 1998, I’m sure you’re familiar with cooking.com. They have been one of the web’s leading sources for cookware and other cooking related products for a very long time, and now they’ve got another addition to their site that I think you guys are going to find entertaining and useful at the same time.

They’ve just introduced a new zone on cooking.com called the Celebrity Kitchen, which features products and recipes from some of the world’s op celebrity chefs, such as Nigella Lawson, Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse and my personal favorites in this stunning lineup of culinary talent: Alton Brown and Sam, the Cooking Guy.

Not only do they have the tips you want from these top celebrity chefs, but the recipes themselves work well with the product lines they’re offering as well. This way you’ll know that if the recipe itself calls for a certain item you don’t happen to have in your kitchen, you can find it right there in the shop. I think that’s a great idea, especially for novice cooks that might get better results if using a recipe that’s already been tested in a specific type of pot, pan or dish.  At the very least the results should be consistent with the original from a technical standpoint.

Lastly, there’s a newsletter that’s focused on new recipes and product releases.  If you’re an avid collector of Paula Deen enameled cast iron or Emerilware, (That’s me!) you’ll find it useful… Though you may be tempted to spend your money a little faster once you’ve signed up. (I’m sure that’s the point, but really… I WANT that 1 qt. pro-clad saucepan.  I want it with a vengeance!)

All-in-all, it’s a useful addition.  The recipes are solid, pulled directly from the chef’s cookbooks. The product quality is high (I own Emerilware… Can’t live without them.), the store is easy to navigate and most of all, it was fun just poking around…  If you can get over the need to drool all over your keyboard.  You’re going to want to buy at least one of the items in the store… I resisted, but just barely.

At least for now…  That saucepan has been on my wishlist for two years now.
